DUNE Common 1.0 - Release notes
Changes to Previous Releases
Since this is the very first release there are no changes that we can list.
Tested Platforms
The DUNE core developers have tested DUNE on the following platforms.
- Debian Linux Sarge and Etch, using mpich/lam and gcc (3.4, 4.0, 4.1)
- Gentoo Linux, using openmpi/mpich and gcc (3.4, 4.0, 4.1)
- HP XC Version 3.0/SFS 2.1 using gcc (3.4 ,4.0)
- SuSE Linux 10.x using gcc
We have also gotten reports of successful installations on various flavours
of Mac OSX.
Known Issues
Here is an (incomplete) list of things that we know not to work in DUNE 1.0.
- config.h is needed as first include in all applications
- Out of source builds are not possible right now.
- The build system only recognizes dependendies on a fixed set of known
modules. Besides the core Dune modules these are dune-disc,
dune-fem, and dune-subgrid.
- The build system does not work with Solaris make. Please
use GNU make instead.
- DUNE doesn't install on Windows platforms, not even using CygWin.
- So far DUNE has not been developed with thread-safety in mind,
and you're probably bound for trouble if you try multi-threaded
code.
Not to mention all the open bugs there are!
